I used to think Brussels sprouts were just for holiday dinners—until I discovered this honey-glazed version. One evening, I added a touch of honey on a whim, and my whole family asked for seconds. Now it’s a regular at our table. Sweet, savory, and golden-crisp, this recipe brings out the very best in these little green gems. Give it a try—your taste buds will thank you!
1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and black pepper to taste
1½ tablespoons honey
Optional: a pinch of red pepper flakes or a squeeze of lemon
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a bowl, toss Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Spread on a baking sheet, cut side down.
Roast for 20–25 minutes until crisp and browned.
Drizzle with honey while still hot and toss to coat evenly.
Optional: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little kick or lemon juice for brightness.
Roast cut-side down for max caramelization.
Add chopped pecans or bacon bits for extra texture and flavor.
Great warm or room temperature—perfect for gatherings!
